About Ureña Time Zone

Ureña uses the America/Caracas IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone used across Venezuela. Its current standard offset is UTC-4:00, meaning local time in Ureña is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. Venezuela does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Ureña keeps the same UTC offset throughout the year.

Ureña is located in Táchira state in western Venezuela, very close to the Colombian border, which makes time awareness especially important for transport, commerce, and personal travel across the frontier. Because neighboring Colombia uses UTC-5:00 year-round, Ureña is typically 1 hour ahead of nearby Colombian cities such as Cúcuta, even though the two urban areas are geographically close and economically linked.

This one-hour difference matters in real-world situations such as border crossings, freight coordination, retail trade, and arranging pickups or business calls. If a shipment is scheduled for 8:00 AM in Cúcuta, Colombia, that corresponds to 9:00 AM in Ureña, Venezuela, so anyone working across both sides of the border needs to confirm which local time is being used.
